Answer

Nature of the surfaces.


Explanation

Friction is the the force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in relative motion. If two objects are in contact, one of it or both must be in motion for friction to exist.

Friction is affected by a number of factors.

One is the weight of the object. The more the weight of the object the higher the friction between it and the surface.

The other factor is the nature of the surfaces. Rough surfaces contribute to high friction while smooth surfaces reduces the friction between surfaces.

If a dog walks north for 10 meters and then east for 10 meters, what is the direction of its displacement?
Katyanochek1 [597]

The direction of its displacement wil be

c.northeast

In fact, the dog walks north for 10 meters and east for another 10 meters. The path of the dog can be represented with two vectors, A pointing north (of magnitude 10 meters) and B pointing east (of magnitude 10 meters). The direction of the resultant vector (due to east) will be given by

tan \theta =\frac{A}{B}=\frac{10}{10}=1

\theta=tan^{-1} (1)=45^{\circ}

and the direction will be north-east.

If the electron has half the speed needed to reach the negative plate, it will turn around and go towards the positive plate. Wh
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

 v = -v₀ / 2

Explanation:

For this exercise let's use kinematics relations.

Let's use the initial conditions to find the acceleration of the electron

            v² = v₀² - 2a y

when the initial velocity is vo it reaches just the negative plate so v = 0

           a = v₀² / 2y

now they tell us that the initial velocity is half

          v’² = v₀’² - 2 a y’

          v₀ ’= v₀ / 2

at the point where turn v = 0              

          0 = v₀² /4  - 2 a y '

          v₀² /4 = 2 (v₀² / 2y)  y’

          y = 4 y'

          y ’= y / 4

We can see that when the velocity is half, advance only ¼ of the distance between the plates, now let's calculate the velocity if it leaves this position with zero velocity.

         v² = v₀² -2a y’

         v² = 0 - 2 (v₀² / 2y) y / 4

         v² = -v₀² / 4

         v = -v₀ / 2

We can see that as the system has no friction, the arrival speed is the same as the exit speed, but with the opposite direction.

If a hot steel tool of 1200°C was put in a bucket to cool and the bucket contained 15L of water of 15°C, and the water temperatu
Mashcka [7]

3.6 kg.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

How much heat does the hot steel tool release?

This value is the same as the amount of heat that the 15 liters of water has absorbed.

Temperature change of water:

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1= 48\; \textdegree{\text{C}}- 15\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

Volume of water:

V = 15 \; \text{L} = 15 \; \text{dm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3}.

Mass of water:

m = \rho \cdot V = 1.00 \; \text{g} \cdot \text{cm}^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{cm}^{3} = 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g}.

Amount of heat that the 15 L water absorbed:

Q = c\cdot m \cdot \Delta T = 4.18 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 15 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} \times 33 \; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

What's the mass of the hot steel tool?

The specific heat of carbon steel is 0.49 \; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1}.

The amount of heat that the tool has lost is the same as the amount of heat the 15 L of water absorbed. In other words,

Q(\text{absorbed}) = Q(\text{released}) =2.06910 \times 10^{6}\; \text{J}.

\Delta T = T_2 - T_1 = 1200\; \textdegree{\text{C}} -{\bf 48}\; \textdegree{\text{C}} = 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}.

m = \dfrac{Q}{c\cdot \Delta T} = \dfrac{2.06910 \times 10^{6} \; \text{J}}{0.49\; \text{J} \cdot \text{g}^{-1} \cdot \textdegree{\text{C}}^{-1} \times 1152\; \textdegree{\text{C}}} = 3.6 \times 10^{3} \; \text{g} = 3.6 \; \text{kg}.

agasfer [191]

Answer: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo)

Explanation: Highly-elliptical-earth-orbit (heo) satellite system has unique properties

which is used by governments for spying and by scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies. It is an extremely elongated orbit that is useful for communication satellites which creates signals between a source transmitter and a receiver at different locations on earth. They are used by government for spying, scientific agencies for observing celestial bodies, for the internet and telephone communications.
